I bought this a weak ago and I only did so they promoted magnetic handels, I was very disappointed they didn't have this option in the colour chose. I bought the purple/red looking one but no magnets and no leather feel for the handels
I used this bag for a Central Asia trip of two weeks. Held all my stuff great. I have never really traveled with a duffle before this bag. I thought the bottom grips my hand naturally went to when slinging over one arm was brilliant design.
Zippers were great. Storage was great. If there was one thing that I would suggest is stronger magnets on the 35L handles so they stayed together easier. Airplane overhead space was easy. I anticipate this bag to last many years on many trips.
This is the 4th Peak Designs different bag I’ve bought and the quality, functionality and style are always exceptional. It’s mainly been camera bags before but the bag is for weekend travel and the gym. Love it
Does exactly what it should with amazing Peak design like normal. Same complaint as everyone else that the magnets should be stronger but not a deal breaker.
This bag (50L Sage Duffel) serves my purposes for travel. However beware that there is internal structure that cannot be removed from the length of the bag and so it will not compress beyond 15in.~ at length. I worry that this hardware may eventually break or wear through the fabric with no easy access to remove it.
Overall good materials with room to improve the design in minor ways, a four star product with 3 star storefront info.
If you are on the fence about this please give it a try. Was waiting to finish a trip to Argentina. Was concerned about space and carry on dimensions since was travelling 1 bag carry-on for 20 days and was in a budget airline. Needless to say it performed admirably, so many carry options and fits perfectly on overhead bins. No troubles at all, incredible zippers. Thank you PD!
Loaned my 35L Travel Duffle to a friend that needed an effective carryon bag. They liked it so much they got one for themselves upon return. Loved the sturdy end handles and modular removable handle straps and external loops.
